the Axe

After trailing most of the game, a blue and gold fourth quarter onslaught ensured a merry and bright Cal victory for the 125th anniversary of the Big Game.

For the first time in 14 years, Cal wins back-to-back games against Stanford. Led by their monstrous defense, the Bears mounted a 21-point comeback to seal their victory against the Cardinal.

The Bears will need to have more ball control than they did against UCLA if they hope to stand a chance against a team that is more talented on paper.

Whether it was your first time watching the Big Game or your 50th, you could simply feel the magnitude of what was happening around you.

Despite only being back for a few weeks now, the Axe has already developed an addiction to the one and only Caffè Strada.

The following is a Q&A between Josh Yuen, football beat writer for The Daily Californian, and King Jemison, football columnist for The Stanford Daily.

We don’t like Stanford. We don’t like the color red. Stanford is our enemy and ex that won’t stop texting us. Stanford is the long line at Caffé Strada.

Recognizing the idiocy of the saga, the two schools decided to award the Axe yearly to the winner of the Big Game, and it’s the last thing the two football programs have truly agreed upon.
